So my friend Tony noticed that my frequency of posts has gone down considerably (never mind the fact that his last post was from Halloween! Whatever!). But he is right. I still love to post and I think of things to write about, but for the most part my brain is just tired. My house can't seem to get in order, and I'm having a hard time keeping track of the things to do on my Christmas list. I am trying my best to do Christmas activities with Wyatt everyday, and then nap time is spent rushing around the house trying to eliminate an every growing list. I keep thinking, "Next week will be better. If I can just make it to next Monday!" Why do I always feel so scatter brained during the holidays? To help me see what I have gotten accomplished and have been able to enjoy, here's a list of what we've done this holiday season!
- R.S. enrichment dinner
- Mom's ward Christmas party
- Wyatt's first sleepover at Grammy's and date night for me and Byron (sushi and a movie)
- Help decorate for my ward Christmas party
- Spend three hours at Kohls trying to complete a new Christmas outfit
- Our ward Christmas party
- Taking Gramma Jeri and Wyatt to ride the Boulder City Santa train only to find out they were completely sold out for the day, went to Hoover Dam and RC Willy instead, left my purse at Red Robin
- Curled up in my bed and watched White Christmas while listing to the wind howl outside (actually my favorite so far!)
- Had a game night with some old friends and new friends, laughed till my stomach hurt!
- Wrapped most of Wyatt's Christmas presents because he kept finding them.
- Baked 2 pumpkin roll cakes
- Taught Wyatt's preschool, made I is for Icicles, remembered that I liked teaching
- Put up new outdoor Christmas decorations and created a new garland for the stairway (that may be its own post soon)
- GOT ANOTHER FLAT TIRE! THAT MAKES 2 IN THREE MONTHS! AHHHHHHH!
- Walked through the Cowboy Christmas Show, bought my parents presents! (No Mom, you don't get your own cowboy!)
- Booked the KB Plumbing Christmas party at ChuckeCheese! (When the kids out number the adults, the kids get first pick!)
- Printed out Christmas cards, though they still need to be cut and mailed!
- Wyatt went to the potty on his own three times in one day!
OK, I'm feeling little better. I have accomplished some things, no matter how random they are. Tomorrow I sing and Byron speaks in church. That'll be just one more thing to add to my list.
